Acoustic Backscattering at ARSRP Sites A and C

Abstract

Extensive, high-quality, low-frequency acoustic scattering data were collected on the Acoustic Reverberation Special Research Program (ARSRP) reconnaissance Cruise just west of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge in the summer of 1991. In its original form on HDRRorOLP (Off-lint Processor9-track)tapes, this important dataset is not readily accessible. Based on software written by us in PV-Wave, as well as some modified Scripps software in C language, we have developed and documented an processing system we call ASPS 'ARSRP Signal Processing Software, L. A. Pf lug, J. W. Caruthers, and R. R. Slater, NRL/MR/ 7173--927004, Feb. 93. We have applied this processing to data from ARSRP- selected Sites A and C. Site A is a priority site for future fine-scale work and C is a site alternate to other priority sites. Presented here are displays of scattering data for these two sites with some interpretation and analysis. In addition to the displays of these data, we have made an Exabyte tape containing the relevant parts of pings impinging on these sites. A copy of this tape is available to ARSRP participants.
